Trump launches ‘large-scale’ attack on Venezuela, captures Nicolas Maduro and wife

[ThatOwlWoman]

Invading a sovereign country and capturing the head of state is though.

"Capture" makes it sound like a legitimate war time action. The correct term IMO is "kidnap."

 

[ThatOwlWoman]

The same could be said for tRump, you know.


What would your reaction be if Venezuela kidnapped him?

Hey dingbat or dingowl, Maduro was wanted for narco terrorism in the United States. So Trump and his team
had every right to bring him to justice.

, Venezuelan air defenses and air force are offering no resistance, suggesting, according to media reports, an elite conspiracy within the country. A destroyed Venezuelan Buk-M2E air defense system, manufactured in Russia and never used by the military, was recorded at the Generalissimo Francisco de Miranda Air Base.

I’m hearing the same thing . No resistance whatsoever.

I prefer, Kick his ass, take his country, and install someone who isn't a total stupid fucking asshole as leader like Maduro was. Justice is for domestic criminals...

Why would a veteran not cheer for that magnificent victory from our military?

I am pleased with the professionalism of the men and women at arms in carrying out this mission.

This is the wrong enemy at the wrong time in the wrong place.

There is no single “average” reaction, but the pattern looks like this:

Group	Reaction
Anti‑Maduro Venezuelans	Celebration, relief, hope
Neutral / apolitical civilians	Fear, shock, uncertainty after explosions and blackout
Maduro loyalists	Anger, defiance, claims of U.S. aggression
Venezuelans abroad	Celebration and optimism

This was not a military operation, that was show....this was CIA regime change done by handing out gobs of money to the right people.

We will just have to agree to disagree on that... He was indicted back in two thousand and twenty... Long overdue...

No, we all can agree to disagree.

I only disagree with "Neutral / apolitical civilians." These wouldn't give a shit one way or the other. On the other hand, Trump haters, TDSers, and assorted Leftists reacted with fear, shock, uncertainty because now they faced either siding with Trump--unthinkable--or throwing their support behind a brutal S. American dictator who even though he's a Leftist himself, is seen by everyone else outside their circle as a brutal dictator and piece of shit that amounts to, Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Why? What is the right enemy at the right time and place at the moment?

This is the wrong enemy? Maduro was in bed with all the narco terrorist nations and their
counterparts. We could throw China, Cuba, Columbia, Iran in there just for starters. Wrong
place? Venez is right across the gulf of America where it has been sending narcotics to the
U.S. for quite a time now. This is exactly the right time to keep America safer than ever.

 

[Damocles]

Why did Biden increase the bounty on his Maduros head to 25 million in Jan of 2025!

Because he endorsed and agreed with the bounty set by Trump in his first term. And he did it just days before Trump took office... Jan 10, 2025. Of course, now that he's been captured, the Bidenistas (a division of DementiaMan™, a limited liability coprophilia corp) want to virtue signal.

My bad.

 

[Hawkeye10]

My bad.

This is all the way illegal.

The failing desperate empire does not care......America is now fully a thug nation.

 

[FastLane]

I’m hearing the same thing . No resistance whatsoever.

I sure as hell would not go up against F22 and F35 US Air Force if I was a Venezuelan Air Force member. That would be suicide.

 

[FastLane]

No, we all can agree to disagree.

Or you could just admit that you are wrong.

So you think sending gang members and drugs to America is just fine.

Illegal? Yeah, just as illegal as Maduro indicted for drug trafficking and weapons charges here in the U.S. of A. LOL!
